Ok, I was married for 10 years, dated very little before that and very little since then. I have a mad crush on my boss's brother. The couple times I have met the brother, he definitely sent me signals that he was interested, and I hope I was sending them back. We couldn't take our eyes off each other, and when we tried to talk to each other, we babbled like a couple of idiots. Boss and I are great friends, knew each other before I came to work for him. He won't fix me up because he has some insane notion about how I should stick with guys who have been married and have children because I have children so we should get married and raise the Brady Bunch. Brother is never married, no kids. (I haven't asked about Brother. Boss volunteered this info in another conversation.) The other complication is that an employee who was recently let go from the company started a rumor that I was madly in love with Boss, so he has been watching me for any signs that it is true, and I don't want any drama from that. I have let it slide for months, but I rented Hitch and now I am inspired. LOL Their church is having a fundraiser dinner and dance in a few weeks, and Brother will definitely be there. Boss put a flyer up in the break room, so I assume that is open invitation for anyone who wants to come from the office. Besides Boss and Brother, I only know about 5 people who go to that church, and only two of them well. (One will be there with spouse and the other has already been recruited to help in the kitchen) Should I go alone, drag along a girlfriend, try to find a date for the dinner, work on Boss's friends to see if I can get a setup from one of them, stay home and rent another movie, or none of the above?

I vote for dragging along a girlfriend or group of friends to go to the dance with. If the boss's brother is into you he will take care of everything.
There is nothing wrong with having a fun night out and seeing how it all goes!!
Good luck!! Good to see you on our board - stick around - you will enjoy it!!
You should go! Drag out as many girlfriends as you can and have some fun. If you end up chatting up the crush, think of it as a bonus to an already fun night. I agree with Judy that if the guy is truly interested in you, he will make some kind of move to show it.
